Summary

Otolaryngologic complaints are common among older adults. Hearing loss, balance concerns, dysphagia, and rhinitis, among others, increase with age and can lead to significant functional limitations along with decreased quality of life among the geriatric population. This chapter discusses the expected aging changes observed in the ear, nose, and throat, and the common pathology encountered in the care of older adults. Diagnosis and management of these disease states is discussed, as well as when referral to an otolaryngologist – head and neck surgeon – is warranted.
